Won't immediately lose 3/7 of the OL depth I hope
Portal attrition then injuries to Meadows, Cunningham, and others wrecked an already fragile OL room, then add in an offensive scheme that doesn't match the QB, and you have a disaster. Amazing and totally forgotten is that this OL despite almost zero threat of the forward pass was I think in the top 5 in run efficiency in the country. Both tackle positions will be much improved, and there is potentially legitimate depth that will prevent a single injury scuttling the entire OL. There is young, unproven talent that will take time to develop, but there are more legit bodies there that increases the odds of guys developing and being ready.
